Hi,
As a mom, I know life gets busy. Most folks already have way too much
on their plates -- they shouldn't have to worry about health care
coverage, too.
We all deserve the security that comes from having health coverage
that's there for us -- that we can count on when we need it most.
If
you still don't have health insurance, you can go to HealthCare.gov,
compare your options, and pick a plan that fits your needs and your
budget.
And if you're already covered, make sure the people you love are covered, too.
Millions of moms, dads, and Americans across the country have already
picked out affordable plans that work for them. They've done this
because they know that life throws you plenty of curveballs. That's what
getting covered is all about: being ready for whatever comes your way.
This isn't about politics -- it's about peace of mind for you and for your family.
So if you still need health insurance, go to HealthCare.gov and select a plan.
And if you're already covered, I need your help: Forward this message
to a friend or loved one who needs to see it and make sure they've
signed up for health insurance, too.
Our health -- and the health of our families -- depends on it.
Thanks,
First Lady Michelle Obama

Hello everyone,
Earlier today, I signed an Executive Order to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 for federal contract workers.
It's the right thing to do. But what's more, companies have found
that when their employees earn more, they're more motivated, they work
harder, and they stick around longer. You should expect the same of your
federal government.
The bottom line is this: We are a nation that believes in rewarding honest work with honest wages. And America deserves a raise.
If you agree, let me know you're standing with me -- and take a look at what else we're going to do in 2014.
The order I signed today will help folks across the country. But it's not enough.
Right now, there's a bill in Congress that would raise the federal
minimum wage to $10.10 an hour for all Americans. It would lift wages
for more than 28 million current workers, and would move millions of
Americans out of poverty. That means businesses would have customers
with more money to spend.
Raising the minimum wage would grow the economy for everyone.
You don't need to believe me: Believe the 600 economists -- including
seven Nobel Prize winners -- who wrote both houses of Congress last
month to remind them that the bill before them will have little or no
negative effect on jobs.
When I stood before both chambers of Congress and said that I
intended for 2014 to be a year of action, that wasn't just a nice line
in a speech. It was an acknowledgment that we've got to restore
opportunity for everyone in America -- the idea that no matter who you
are, or how you started out, you can get ahead here if you're
responsible and willing to work for it. That's what this "year of
action" is all about.
And since that speech, I have taken actions on my own to make it
easier for folks to save for retirement, help working Americans get the
skills that good jobs demand, and assist millions of Americans who have
been looking for work for several months. I've announced a major new
commitment toward connecting our schools to 21st-century technology.
That action continues today, and in the months to come.
Take a look at what we've done already and what's to come.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama
